The Local Academy Board
Our Local Academy Board has 9 members including our Deputy Headteacher who is “in attendance” at each meeting. We are supported by a Clerk and meet formally twice in the Autumn term and once in the Spring and Summer term.
Fundamentally, school improvement is the heart and the purpose of school governance and everything our Governors do is directed at increasing pupil performance and giving the children the best start in their learning careers.
Our Chair of Governors can be contacted on chair@wvi.tamat.org.uk
Governor monitoring
We use Governor Portfolios to structure our work each term, so that governors can hold the Senior Leadership team to account using a structured approach to monitoring. The Portfolio holder meets with governors across the Trust; the termly meeting is chaired by the Trustee who manages the portfolio. The governor reports back to the Local Academy Board; the Trustee reports back to the Trust Board.
Our Portfolios are:
Achievement, Community, Curriculum, Finance, Health & Safety and Safeguarding
